[complete!]
ACT 1.1,
Beforehands
Chapter 21,
Answer Keys to the Helplessness Test
The closer you get to the light, the greater the shadow becomes...It seems as if Heaven's Mercenary and the Heartless Lord have acquired a common interest in a weapon that supposely purges the world of Darkness.
I'll think of a overview summary in due time.
Partly to get back into the habit of writing this fic, and partly because I had planned to do B-Side stories anyways. I will now starting working on ACT 1's sub acts. These acts will actually serve as more filler for character development and subtle amusement, and will not be major significance to the focal story. Act 1 will have three sub acts (each should be fairly short in comparison to the main act, might I add)
I've now posted the first act of the 'ACT 1.1,
Beforehands.' In which, we following Mercuito's perspective as he arrives in Traverse Town, before talking with Java in Act 1, Chapter 7. I attempted a slightly different style (mainly trying to focalize Mercuito's point-of-view as the main perspective), but ultimately, this turns out to be another dialogue-driven chapter. Slow and fun read.
Act 1.1,
Beforehands will depict the story through Mercuito's perspective just before the Act 1, Chapter 3 proceeds.
Act 1.2,
Afterwards will follow up and attempt to conclude activity in Traverse Town. Leon, Donald, and Zidane will share perspectives in this act.
Act 1.3,
Zany, Hardy, Mad Tea Party will
finally refrain from Traverse Town, and progress to...you can guess...Java will be taking his prominent role as 'the most focal character'. in this act which will actually correlate more with Act 2 (Almost the same timeframe, only events in Act 2 have much more relevance to the story), but seeing as the events is act 1.2 lead directly to this act, I figured that this act would be best seperated as filler, and not integrated with Act 2.
This is the sub act overview; in other words sub-act chapters will be posted at a much slower pace...
Mercuito, and Mickey, and "Java's all for the Queen",
These are a few of my favourite things,
